My name is Cleo and I work for WDP, a charity that provides recovery services in London and the South East for people experiencing difficulties with substance misuse. Recovery London is our addictions counselling service, offering individual and group sessions to people who suffer with both mental health and substance abuse. Dual Diagnosis services are few and far between and Recovery London provides an excellent, yet underfunded, service to people in need.

During my time at WDP, I have had the privilege to meet and work with many wonderful, resilient, hopeful and determined individuals who deserve the best services that we can offer them. Many have experienced horrific life experiences. Recovery London is a safe and supportive space where people have the opportunity to heal and grow while battling difficult life situations.

I am running the London Marathon to raise money in support of Recovery London. I feel passionately that people deserve to have access to this service, and through sponsoring me you will be creating the funds necessary to support their work.
